Chapter 1- First Day:
Irene:
I sighed as I parked my black motorcycle out front. I loved my baby- she was my baby. I saw a redhead guy nod towards me and my ride approvingly. Though he seemed a bit shocked when I removed the black helmet and my jacket- ha, take that- girls can so ride motorcycles. Sexist.
Either way, I ignored him and continued into the building only to be met with a short silver haired lady. She smiled,
"You must be the new student! Irene LeAnn?"
I nodded and smiled,
"Yep."
"You need to go see Nathaniel in the student council room to complete your registration."
I nodded and started to walk away. Then I stopped.
"Where's the-"
She was gone.
"-student council room," I finished lamely.
I scowled slightly and then sighed- well, gotta do it the old fashion way then. I started to wander around, only to walk right into someone. I got to stop doing that.
"Ommph," I coughed as I looked to who I bumped into.
She was a tall, chocolate skinned girl with what seemed to be a permanent smirk on her face. She was, admittedly, pretty.
"Watch where ya goin' little girl."
I scowled,
"Little," I muttered as I looked at me chest, "I'm not that small!"
She laughed,
"That wasn't what I referring to," she continued, "but ya got some mind on ya!"
I blushed and then she continued,
"Name's Kim."
"Irene."
She smiled and then ruffled my purple hair,
"Ya are an unique girl, I'll give you that much."
Well that was interesting, I thought as I continued my walk around the school. It took me another five minutes to find out the council room was the one door by the front of the building.
Third Person:
Nathaniel turned as the door opened to reveal, who he was pretty sure, was the new student. She had really long dark purple hair that curled naturally and was tucked behind her ears-revealing the one ear that had multiple piercings. Thin black glasses framed her pale blue eyes. Her hourglass figure- he may not have been attracted to her, but he had to admit that she did have a figure- had on a light gray hoodie with black stripes, black skinny jeans, and black converse. She raised a perfectly plucked eyebrow,
"You Nathaniel?"
He smiled warmly,
"Yes. You must be the new student, Irene. You have to complete your registration by getting an ID and there's the twenty-five dollars."
She nodded, handed him the money, and with a two-finger salute, she left. Nathaniel pinched the bridge of his nose.
Irene made her way to the courtyard, wonder where I can get that ID. She spotted a notebook on the bench and picked it up, Who does this belong to?
"Excuse me."
Irene turned to come face-to-face with a guy. He reminded her of the Victorian era- with the way he was dressed, his mismatched eyes, and his hair was dyed white with black tips. Lysander looked at the beautiful girl in front of him,
"I'm looking for my notebook, have you seen it?"
She held up the notebook,
"Is this it?"
He smiled slightly,
"Indeed….did you look through it," he asked as he took it from her.
She shook her head,
"No it's not exactly nice to look through others things."
He smiled at her slightly.
"I'm Lysander, you must be the new student."
"Is it that obvious," she joked and then continued, "My name's Irene…do you know where I can get my student ID?"
"I believe you can get at the Dollar Shop."
Irene smiled, revealing prefect teeth,
"Thank you, it was nice meeting you!"
With that, she left.
Irene headed on her way to her motorcycle when her thoughts wondered. Lysander seemed polite. Kim was pretty cool. I wonder where the Dollar Shop is.
She blushed slightly as she then ran into another person.
"Tá brón orainn," Irene apologized, then winced as she relaized she said it in Irish- a language that Ri had taught her.
"I don't know what you just said," the redhead growled, "but it better have been an apology."
"I only apologize to people who are polite," Irene snapped.
Castiel raised an eyebrow, amused.
"I'm Castiel."
"Irene."
Castiel looked at the girl in front of him- she was attractive, that was for sure, and had spunk. She was also the one he saw get off that motorcycle.
"Where are you going in a hurry?"
"Dollar Shop," Irene answered, "I need to get some student ID...but I don't know where it is," Irene admitted sheepishly.
"And you expect me to help?"
"Well, considering you're such a gentleman."
Castiel scoffed, but he was amused.
"It's nearby- round the corner."
Irene smiled,
"Thanks, Cherry!"
"Cherry?"
She laughed,
"The hair," she explained, "by the way- love the shirt! Winged Skulls is an okay band," and with that- she left. Leaving behind her, a slightly flustered Castiel.
Irene:
That was interesting to say the least. Castiel seemed okay- especially considering he had on a Winged Skulls shirt. I had followed his 'directions' and I did find the Dollar Shop. Honestly, I am a bit surprised he didn't give me the wrong directions on purpose. I headed in and went to the cashier.
"I'm here to get my student ID."
"That'll be ten dollars and you need to fill out these forms," he smiled.
Grumbling at bit at the money I had to spend just for school registration, I handed him the ten bucks and grabbed the forums.
Name: Irene Hope LeAnn
Age: Seventeen
Gender: Female
Zodiac Sign: Leo
I raised an eyebrow, what type of forums are these? Geesh. Personal much? Nevertheless, I finished completing the papers and handed him to the guy- where he then took my picture and handed me my ID. I smiled- well that's one thing down.
When I finally got to school, I rushed to get to my first hour (I was a bit late). It was Music though so I was a bit happy. I loved music- I actually liked all types of music, but mostly hip-hop and rock. I was a bit surprised to see that Lysander and Castiel were in the class too. I took my seat beside them.
"Hello, Irene," Lysander greeted warmly.
"Hey," I smiled, "you two are in music?"
"You mean you didn't know," Kim asked me in disbelief as I told her what happened that day. Kim (and Iris) was becoming a pretty good friend. Melody and Violette were pretty cool too- but they were a bit…shy and goody for my tastes. Kim was brash and Iris was nice- so they were cool.
"No one told me they were in a band together," I shrugged.
Currently we were at lunch. Kim was picking at the salad,
"What the hell is this stuff."
"Food," I laughed.
Kim crinkled her nose,
"Rabbit food, maybe…."
"Anyway," Iris said, "continue with the story, Irene."
I groaned and continued to tell them what happened as I remembered the event,
The teacher smiled, "Do you play any instrument, sing?"
"I…I sing and I can play the electric guitar and the piano."
"Over achiever much," Kim huffed. Iris shushed her as I continued,
"Well I think they're fun to play- but I wouldn't have said anything if I knew the teacher would tell me to sing and play."
I sighed and stood up and this blonde girl was glaring at me.
"That's Amber," Iris filled in, "She's pretty mean sometimes."
"She's a bitch," Kim and I said bluntly. Kim smiled at me,
"I knew there was a reason I liked you."
I blushed slightly and then continued with the story.
They didn't have an electric guitar and I could play the acoustic, but I don't like it as much. I made my way to the piano and started to play. Then, at the teacher's urging, I started to sing.
"You actually sang," Kim said in disbelief. I shrugged,
"I don't mind. My friends and I were in a band back home."
"Really" Iris asked curiously, "What was the band? Are you guys famous? Who was in it? What did you play?"
I raised an eyebrow. Kim scowled.
"Well, the band was called Women of Chaos, and it was me and my friends, Ri and Taylor- all girls of course. We played rock music mostly- occasionally something else. We were locally okay and I played the electric guitar and was singer for some of the songs."
Iris smiled,
"So then what song did you sing for music class?"
"My Immortal."
"Did they like it?"
"I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along...
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me…."
As I finished the song, Castiel looked at me impressed, as did Lysander. The rest of the class seemed pretty cool about it…expect the blond girl and her friends.
"They did," I answered, "expect for…Amber and her friends."
"Ah," Kim said, "those three act like they run the school and they never get in trouble."
I scowled. Kim laughed,
"Yep, grade-A bitches."
"Pardon," Lysander said as he walked up, "Would it be alright to sit here?"
I scooted over,
"Help yourself."
Iris and Kim shared a look and then smiled.
"Well, I think we're done here," Kim winked, "have fun!"
With that, they left me. I wonder what that was about.
"Interesting friends," Lysander commented.
"They are…and they're good people."
Lysander raised an eyebrow and I laughed,
"I know Kim doesn't seem like it sometimes- but she really is pretty cool…so are you and Castiel, you know."
Lysander smiled.
When I got home, Stephen was on the couch- no doubt he just got back from work.
"How was school?"
"I got threatened by a bitchy blonde," I listed, thinking of Amber's dully veiled threat about staying away from Castiel, "but I made some friends."
"Girlfriends or boyfriends," Stephen asked curiously. I blushed,
"Both. Iris, Kim, Lysander, and Castiel."
He narrowed his eyes slightly,
"Just…be careful…we don't need history repeating itself."
I pushed my glasses up,
"I know…"
